    Dartiber addition, the invention relates to a conveyor system for conveying conveyed with a frame, and attached to the frame conveyor roller and / or attached to the frame connection box.
    Finally, the invention relates to a method for producing a conveyor system with a frame. Conveyors are now widely used and, for example, from any warehouse, no production facility and no postal or baggage distribution system indispensable. They are used for the comfortable conveying and sorting of sometimes very heavy loads. Over time, many types of conveyor systems have emerged that are optimized for a particular application. Very often conveyor systems are designed as roller conveyors in which the conveyed by individual, temporarily with the conveyed material in contact, conveyor rollers is transported.
    For example, JP 2004/331270 A discloses a motorized conveyor roller for this purpose, in which a control unit arranged in the roller is connected via a cable to a plug which is inserted into a connection box arranged on the frame.
    From EP 0 300128 A1 a roller conveyor track with a supporting structure in the form of a panel is also known, which essentially represents a flat surface, from which U-shaped channels extend downwards, in which the rollers are accommodated. In order to enable the assembly of the rollers, they are held with their stub axles in snap-in holders, which can be replaced in a snap-in manner in retaining cutouts of the panel vertically from above. In addition, electrical cables are laid in the side walls of the U-shaped channels, which are exposed at the height of the rollers. When snapping the role of this is contacted by resilient contacts which are attached to the roll, electrically.
    DE 10 2005 046763 A1 also discloses a roller drive or a roller transport device equipped with the roller drive according to the invention. 25 • · »* 15:02:10 29-06-2011 l / 61» · · · · · " • φ · ··· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44 44.
    The roller drive has a device for receiving electrical components, wherein the device is provided as a torque arm for the electric machine. A regulating device and / or a communication device can also be integrated in the device. The roller drive is electrically contacted via piercing contacts projecting through the frame of the conveyor with a power supply cable and a data cable,
    In addition, the Applicant's Austrian patent application Α200Θ / 01453 relates to a conveyor system for conveying conveyed goods with frame profiles, a bus system and conveyor rollers, of which a conveyor roller comprises an electrical contacting device for connecting drive electronics to the bus system and a red steering body and a drive motor arranged inside the latter , The conveyor roller is mountable to one of the frame profiles via a bearing device having one of the ends, wherein during the assembly movement of the motorized conveyor roller relative to the frame profile, the contacting device contacts the bus system. The motorized conveyor roller and the bearing device form a common structural unit. The bearing device comprises a protruding from the outer contour of the roller body bearing body with an engageable against the frame profile outer surface and a holder for attaching the contacting device. The drive electronics and the contacting device are connected via an electrical line system, wherein the line system is led out through a recess from the storage device. The drive electronics are electrically connected by means of insulation displacement or piercing contacts with a cable for power supply and data transmission.
    Finally, US Pat. No. 6,848,933 B1 discloses a further variant of a connection box for a conveyor system in which a cable for the supply of energy and data transmission is electrically contacted by means of cutting-edge piercing or piercing contacts.
    The object of the invention is now to specify an improved conveyor roller, an improved connection box for a conveyor roller, an improved conveyor system and a production process for a conveyor system which has been improved. In particular, a simple way to specify a conveyor roller to mechanically connect to a frame of a conveyor system and to contact electrically. Furthermore, in particular an advantageous possibility for mounting a power supply cable and a data cable of a conveyor should be specified.
    The object of the invention is achieved with a conveyor roller of the type mentioned, in which the plug-in device is formed by a printed circuit board with plug contacts arranged thereon and the control unit is at least partially disposed on the same circuit board.
    According to the invention, a particularly simple construction of a conveyor roller is achieved, since both the control unit and the plug-in device are arranged at least partially on one and the same circuit board. On the one hand, this leads to reduced production costs, but on the other hand also to an improved assembly of the conveyors.
    The fact that the plug-in device is positioned substantially rigidly relative to the bearing body, the assembly of the conveyor roller can be done in one step. This is in contrast to systems with a Steckvonichtung, which is connected via a cable to the Fördenolle, where the mechanical connection of the conveyor roller on the frame of the conveyor and the electrical contacting of the same usually takes place in separate steps. In this context, "substantially rigid * is to be understood as meaning a typical rigidity of a printed circuit board, whereas a cable is not" essentially ". In this context, it is also pointed out that within the scope of the invention, particularly flexible printed circuit boards are used in order to be able to more easily mold out manufacturing tolerances between conveyor roller and conveyor system. Nevertheless, the mechanical connection of the conveyor roller to the frame and the electrical contact is made possible in one step, even in this case, that is, the electrical connector does not need to be done as a cable connection by a separate step. 2S 15:03:34 29-06-2011 9/61 -5-
    Another advantage of the invention is that solder joints or clamp connections for the connection of a separate cable, as is often necessary in the prior art, omitted and thus the number of possible sources of error is reduced. The term "at least partially arranged on the same circuit board" is to be understood in the context of the invention that at least one electrical component of the control unit is located on the circuit board. An "electrical component" is to be understood in particular as meaning a capacitor, a resistor, a coil, an electronic component and an electromechanical component. The roller-side plug-in device and the system-side plug-in device are realized according to the invention by a plug / socket system, it basically does not matter whether a plug or a socket is provided on the roller side. But it is particularly advantageous if a plug is provided on the roll side. Advantageously, a male / female connection can often be loosened and restored without the electrical contact between the male and female connectors suffering significantly. In particular, when the contact surfaces are arranged substantially parallel to the direction of insertion and have a sufficient length, a reliable electrical contact can still be ensured even if the plug is not fully inserted into the socket in this way, manufacturing tolerances between Förderrol-ie and frame well be compensated. It would also be conceivable, for example, that the contact surfaces are arranged substantially normal to the insertion direction and they are pressed together by spring force, which also still a good electrical contact can be ensured with not completely plugged plug. However, the above-mentioned, aligned parallel to the insertion direction and against each other sliding contact surfaces are manufacturing technology, however, easier to manufacture. In contrast, a crimping / piercing connection provides little or no tolerance compensation and must be made very carefully. An insulation displacement / piercing connection is therefore not covered by the terms "plug-in device" in the context of the invention. or "male / female connection *, not least because in an insulation displacement / Pierdng connection an electrical connection is made directly to the conductors of a cable. 25 * * ·· «♦ · * · · • *« »· ·« «· ·« * 15:04:20 29-06-2011 10/61 -6-
    Furthermore, the object of the invention is achieved by a connection box of the type mentioned, in which the first and second insulation displacement contact te / piercing contacts are arranged in different areas.
    According to the invention, this makes it possible for two separate cables to be provided in principle for the power supply and for the data transmission, thereby enabling an advantageous workflow in the production of a conveyor system, as will be described in detail below. In addition, a separation of power supply and data transmission contributes to increased safety of the conveyor system.
    In addition, the object of the invention by a conveyor system for conveying conveyed with a frame, and attached to the frame according to the invention conveyor roller and / or attached to the frame according to the invention connection box solved. In this way, a particularly easy to manufacture and also little fehleranfäliige conveyor system can be hegestellt. Thus, both the manufacturing costs and the maintenance costs are low.
    Finally, the object of the invention is achieved by a method for producing a conveyor system with a frame, comprising the steps: a) producing a plurality of segments of a conveyor system by:
    Mounting a cable to the electrical power supply to the frame,
    Mounting a junction box according to the invention on the frame, wherein the first insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts produce an electrical connection between the cable for electrical power supply and the system side Steckvorrfchtung and
    Mounting a conveyor roller blind on the frame, in particular a conveyor roller according to the invention, wherein the insertion of the conveyor roller according to the invention in the frame and connecting the roller-side plug with the system-side plug in a single step, b) positioning the segments at their destination, c) connecting the cable to electrical power supply of neighboring 25 • «• · · 15:05:00 29-06-2011 11/61 • · '• · -7-
    Segments and d) mounting a cable for data transmission to the junction box, wherein the cable for data transmission over at least two segments is laid uncut.
    Similarly, it is advantageous if the frame of the conveyor system according to the invention comprises several segments and the cable is laid uncut for data transmission over at least two segments. In this variant of the invention, the individual segments are prefabricated in the factory and only combined at their destination to a conveyor system. Step b) implies the juxtaposition of the segments or combination to a conveyor system.
    During final assembly, the power supply cables of the individual segments are electrically connected to each other. The data cable, however, is uncut, at least over two segments, i. in one piece, laid so that a reliable data connection with high data rate between the conveyor rollers and a central control can be realized. Of course, step d) can also take place before step c). Furthermore, the assembly of the connection box on the frame in step a) before the installation of the power supply cable can be done.
    The measures according to the invention combine, on the one hand, a high degree of prefabrication and, on the other hand, a reliable data connection. By this combination, the production of a conveyor system can be done inexpensively, without sacrificing quality.
    Advantageous embodiments and developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims and from the description in conjunction with the figures.
    It is advantageous in a conveyor roller when the plug contacts are formed by a conductor track of the printed circuit board. In this way, the conveyor roller can be produced particularly inexpensively. The fact that in this variant no solder joints are required to separate plug-in device, the number of possible sources of error is further reduced. 25 15:05:41 29-06-2011 ι ^ / οι * 4 · ♦ * »> «« * · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·

    It is advantageous in a conveyor roller when the circuit board in the region of the roller axis is annular or ring-segment-shaped. In this way, the space for an electronic circuit is optimally utilized in a continuous roller axle. If the roller axis is not continuous, advantageously a circular printed circuit board can also be used. An annular or ring segment-shaped circuit board can be formed or limited by any polygons. Similarly, instead of a circular printed circuit board also a polygonal printed circuit board can be used,
    Particularly advantageous is a conveyor roller, when: the bearing bodies are prepared for insertion into the frame of the conveyor in a first insertion direction, the first insertion direction is aligned transversely to a roller axis of the roller body, the roller-side connector for electrical connection with the arranged on the frame of a conveyor system side Plug-in device is prepared in a second insertion direction, and a) the first insertion direction and the second insertion direction are parallel to each other and rectified or b) the second insertion direction is aligned tangentially to a pivot point of the bearing body
    This allows a particularly simple installation of the conveyor roller, since it is both mechanically fixed in one step and also electrically contacted. In case a) this is done because of the parallel alignment of the first and second plugging directions even during a single movement. In case b) a linear movement (mechanical attachment) is combined with a rotary movement (electrical contacting), in particular the assembly of a conveying roller can be carried out without tools in both cases. It is advantageous in a conveyor roller when the plug contacts of the plug-in device are arranged side by side with respect to the second plug-in direction, i. the roller-side plug-in device comprises 25 aligned in the second plug-in direction ..... ....., ..., *,. ; · ♦ ···· *. • for ····· * * * M ·· ·· · »* · ** 15:06:20 29-06-20Π -9-
    Plug contacts. In this way, short circuits are avoided when inserting the plug-in device. It is also favorable for a conveyor roller when the first plug-in direction is oriented downwards. Thus, an easy assembly of the conveyor roller is guaranteed, since it is inserted from top to bottom in the frame of the conveyor and thus supports the weight of the conveyor roller insertion.
    In this context, it is particularly favorable if the first plugging direction is aligned substantially normal to the roller axis and / or substantially normal to a conveying plane of the conveyor system. With a horizontally oriented conveyor track, this means that the first plugging direction is vertically aligned. Thus, the insertion of a conveyor roller is particularly intuitive, since no complicated movements are necessary. By "substantially normal" is meant in the context of the invention, an angle between about 85 ° -95 °.
    It is advantageous if the plug-in device of the conveyor roller is arranged below the roller body. In this way, the plug-in device is optimally protected in the installed state of the conveyor roller by the frame of the conveyor system.
    Advantageously, finally, is a conveyor roller, in which the plug-in device with one of the bearing body forms a common structural unit. In this way, problems in mounting the conveyor roller can be avoided, since the mutually rigid positioning of plug-in device and bearing body can be particularly well realized. It is favorable for a connection box when the first and second insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts are arranged side by side in the same plane. In this variant of the invention, the power supply cable and the data cable are arranged side by side in one plane, preferably on the frame of the conveyor system. This is a simple installation of the two cables given, but they can be installed at different times. 25 15:07:00 29-06-2011 14/61 -10- It is also beneficial for a junction box, when the first and second insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts are arranged in different levels. In this variant, one cable is laid over another. Preferably, the data supply cable is routed over the power supply cable laid at an earlier point in time. Advantageously, a conveyor system can be prefabricated very well. In addition, confusion of the two cables are practically impossible.
    In this context, it is advantageous if the first insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts of the support surface are closer than the second insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts. Similarly, it is advantageous in a conveyor system, if a cable for electrical power supply is located closer to the frame as a cable for data transmission. In this variant, the power supply cable is thus mounted directly on the frame or just above it. The data cable is installed via this prefabricated unit consisting of frame, connection box and power supply cable.
    An advantageous variant of the junction box according to the invention is also given if it comprises at least one additional plug-in device electrically connected to the first and second insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts, which is prepared for electrical connection to further elements arranged on the frame of the conveyor system. In this way, in addition to the conveyor roller and other elements, such as sensors, warning lamps, actuators and the like can be plugged into the junction box and thus supplied with energy and connected to a data network. Preferably, the auxiliary connector is designed as an RJ11 socket (standardized by the US Federal Communications Commission).
    Finally, it is also particularly advantageous if the connection box according to the invention comprises two additional additional plug contacts which are prepared to accommodate one connection cable each to an adjacent connection box. Such daisy-chaining cables are preferred for a so-called "Dalsy-Chaln line". used to address the conveyor rollers when initializing the conveyor system , At the beginning, switches which connect the two additional plug contacts are opened. The two separate plug-in contacts and the open switch safely interrupt the daisy-chain cable at a connection box. Now, a voltage is applied to one end of the daisy-chain lead, causing the feed roller nearest the feed point to report to a central controller via the data cable. The other conveyor rollers can not detect this voltage, since the daisy-chain line is disconnected by the switches in the individual Anschiussboxen yes. As a result, this Förderroile is assigned an address, and the conveyor roller closes the said switch, so that now also another conveyor can receive said voltage signal and in turn report to the central controller. In this way, the conveyor rollers can be addressed gradually. It would also be conceivable that the said connection cable is used to communicate between two adjacent connection boxes without the aid of the data cable. It is favorable in this context if the frame of the conveyor system according to the invention comprises recesses in the region of the additional plug-in device of the connection box. In this way, the additional plug-in device can be guided to the outside of the frame of the conveyor, although the junction box is mounted on the inside. Thus, additional elements can be easily connected to the junction box. In particular, warning lights can be plugged directly (ie without connection cable) to the additional plug-in device and are still clearly visible.
    It is also advantageous if, the plant-side Steckvomchtung floatingly mounted in particular in the axis of the conveyor roller slidably mounted. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the plug-in device is mounted displaceably transversely to said axis. Both contribute to the fact that manufacturing tolerances of the conveyor system are compensated and do not interfere with the assembly of the conveyor roller, in particular when inserting the same in the junction box. For example, the plug-in device may for this purpose have a plug-in device frame with a circumferential groove into which the housing of the connection box in the region of a connection box. FIG engaged for the plug-in device cutout. By providing a game, the movement of the connector frame in the cut can be achieved without this can fall out of the cutout. In order to enable the movement of the plug-in device, this can also be wired within the junction box using a flexible cable.
    It is also advantageous if the system-side plug-in device is arranged on a guided from the connection box cable. This variant of the invention allows compensation even greater tolerances, which can be advantageously combined with the aforementioned variant. For example, it is conceivable that the plug-in device can be pulled out of said plug device frame if necessary, if the floating bearing alone is not sufficient to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the conveyor system. It is advantageous if the frame of a conveyor system comprises upwardly open recesses which are provided for receiving bearing bodies of the conveyor roller. In this way, a conveyor roller can be mounted very easily by simply plugged into the frame of the conveyor from above.
    A further advantageous embodiment of a conveyor system is given by the fact that the position of a system-side plug device of a connection box relative to the recess in the frame is the same as that of a roller-side plug device relative to the bearing body of the conveyor roller. Under "Location" is the combination of position and orientation to understand. Thus, the conveyor roller and the junction box to each other, and the conveyor roller can be mechanically and electrically connected to the conveyor system in one step. It is also favorable if the plug contacts of the system-side plug-in device are spaced from the frame. In this way, a short circuit of the plug-in device on the frame of the conveyor system, which usually consists of metal, avoided. In this context, it is also advantageous if the contacts 25 * * * * * * * * • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * • * II • M 9 9 • «* * * * *. The roller-side plug-in device are arranged on the side of the printed circuit board facing away from the frame. It is favorable in the method according to the invention, if in step c) the cable for the electrical power supply of a first segment with third insulation displacement contacts or third piercing contacts and the cable for the electrical power supply of a second segment adjacent to the second segment with fourth insulation displacement contacts or fourth piercing contacts, which are electrically connected to the third insulation displacement contacts or third piercing contacts are contacted. In this way, the individual sections of the power supply cable can be rationally connected when assembling the segments of the conveyor without having to give up a reliable electrical contact. Part of a junction box in addition to the mentioned insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts and a circuit board on which the insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts are attached and are provided on the conductor tracks, which interconnect associated insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the connection box, respectively the mentioned circuit board, integrated with the insulation displacement contacts in the connection box. Of course, the terminal box may also have only a single circuit board, which provides both the electrical connections for the connection box as such and the connection box. In a further advantageous embodiment of the conveyor system, this has a cable arrangement comprising a first electrical conductor and at least one second electrical conductor, which are insulated from each other, several arranged in the course of the conductor Steckvomchtungen each having a plurality of electrical contacts, wherein at least one contact is connected to an electrical letter and, wherein the first conductor is severed at each plug-in device and one end of the first conductor, each with a electrical contact is connected. 25 * 1 • ft ft *· e * ft ft i * t * ft * i ft ft * * • * »m 1 ft» «ft ♦ m · • et * * * *« ««

    Due to the special nature of the cable arrangement, that is to say by the provision of different types of electrical conductors, a multiplicity of tasks can be undertaken by one and the same cable arrangement. Thus, the wiring of a conveyor system is much easier because the conveyor rollers can be connected on the one hand with continuous electrical conductors, but in addition also with cable segments. Said cable arrangement thus enables the cabling mentioned in one step, which is particularly advantageous in the comparatively high number of conveyor rollers in a conveyor system. By the mentioned variant on the one hand, a possibility for rational wiring of conveyors is created, achieved by the factory production of the cable assembly but also a high quality of the wiring. It is particularly advantageous if the cable assembly is laid un-cut over at least two segments.
    It is advantageous if the first conductor of the cable assembly is provided as a daisy-chain line and at least a second conductor as a data bus. Through this combination, the production of a conveyor system with conveyor rollers can be carried out inexpensively, without having to compromise on the quality. In particular, when the cable assembly is laid uncut over several segments, a reliable data connection with high data rate between the conveyor and a central control can be realized. As already mentioned, the daisy-chain line can be used to address the conveyor rollers during the initialization of the conveyor system.
    It is advantageous if two second conductors are designed as a twisted pair line and provided as Datenbusieitung. In this way, the data bus is particularly insensitive to electromagnetic Störfeldem, as they can occur especially in the harsh environment of a conveyor system.
    In this context, it is particularly advantageous if the conveyor system comprises a power supply cable arranged on the frame and electrically connected to the conveying means, wherein the cable arrangement is arranged on the outside of the frame and the power supply cable is arranged on the inside of the frame. -15- 25 • · * · * · 15: 10.31 29-06-2011 19/61
    Thus, the framework of the conveyor between the cable assembly and the Energievereorgungskabei comes to lie, so electromagnetic fields that arise around the power supply cable, are well shielded from the data bus. The data transmission can thus be more reliable or faster.
    It is advantageous in this context if the electrical connection of the cable assembly takes place with the conveyor rollers through a recess in the frame. In this way, wiring does not need to be cumbersome over the frame. In this context, it is also particularly advantageous if a plug-in device of a connection box is arranged in the region of said recess. In this way, the cable assembly can be plugged directly through the recess in the frame at the junction box, whereby the wiring of the conveyor system is further simplified.
    Finally, a method is advantageous in which, in step a), adjacent terminal boxes are connected by means of connecting cables within a segment and, after carrying out step b), adjacent terminal boxes of adjacent segments are connected in a step e) via further connecting cables. The daisy-chain line is thus laid first within the segments of the conveyor system, then from segment to segment. Of course, step e) can also take place before step c) or d). It would also be conceivable, however, for the daisy-chain cable to be completely relocated after step b), c) or d).
    At this point, it should be noted that the variants mentioned for the conveying roller and the resulting advantages are mutatis mutandis applicable to the connection box according to the invention, the conveyor system according to the invention and to the inventive method and vice versa.

Advantageously, the plug-in device 7 is formed by a printed circuit board 8 with arranged thereon and formed by a conductor plug contacts, and the control unit 6 is at least partially disposed on the same circuit board 8. It would also be conceivable, however, a soldered onto the circuit board 8 connector or a soldered socket. In addition, in Fig. 1, a roller cover 9, a cover 10 of the conveyor roller 1 are shown. A detailed illustration of the conveyor roller 1 can also be seen in FIG.
    As can be clearly seen from FIG. 1, the printed circuit board 8 has a ring shape in the region of the roller axis. It would also be conceivable that it is formed in an advantageous variant ring segment-shaped.
    Furthermore, FIG. 1 shows a first plug-in direction A, in which the bearing bodies 2, 3 are inserted into a frame of the conveyor system, and a second plug-in direction B, in which the plug-in device 7 is inserted into an on-side plug-in device ( see again Figures 4 and 9 to 11). The first plug-in direction A is aligned transversely to the roller axis of the roller body 4, and the first plug-in direction A and the second plug-in direction B are mutually parallel and rectified in this example. Specifically, the first plug-in direction A and the second plug-in direction B are aligned substantially normal to the roller axis and / or substantially normal to a conveying plane of the conveyor, which is formed by the top of several rollers 1 arranged one behind the other.
    The first plug-in direction A and the second plug-in direction B are also oriented downward. Good to see is that the plug contacts of the plug-in device 7 are arranged side by side with respect to the second direction of insertion B. In this case, the plug-in device below the reel body 4 '' * * * 15:13:07 29-06-2011 23/61: ::: ··· ** ** m * ♦ * «· · · * β. I ································. Finally, the plug-in device 7 is attached to the bearing body 2 and forms with this a common structural unit.
    Fig. 2 shows the conveyor roller 1 now in plan view (bottom) and in sectional view (top). In addition to the elements already mentioned, here are a first bearing shell 11 connected to the roller body 4, a first bearing 12 arranged therein, a second bearing shell 13 connected to the roller body 4, and a second bearing 14 arranged therein. In this example, the second bearing shell 13 additionally has optional grooves known per se for driving adjacent rollers with the aid of belts, which are inserted into the grooves. Furthermore, the roller 1 comprises a Ableiteiement 15, which serves to dissipate electrostatic charge from the reel body 4 to a roller axis 16.
    Figures 3 and 4 show how the conveyor roller 1 in a frame of a conveyor, concretely between two frame parts 17 and 18, can be installed. The frame parts 17 and 18 have at regular intervals recesses 19, which are open at the top and in which the bearing body can be inserted 2.3, in order to fix the conveyor roller 1 in the frame parts 17 and 18 such. Advantageously, fastening tongues are provided on the bearing bodies 2, 3, which spring outward when the bearing bodies 2, 3 are inserted, thus securing the conveyor roller 1 against falling out. Below the conveyor roller 1 is a connection box 20 with a system-side plug device 21, specifically a connection socket, in which the plug contacts 7 of the conveyor roller 1 are inserted, is provided. The position of the system-side plug-in device 21 of the connection box 20 relative to the recess 19 in the frame is the same as the position of the roller-side plug 7 relative to the bearing body 2 of the conveyor roller 1, so that the conveyor roller 1 and the junction box 20 match each other and the conveyor roller. 1 can be mechanically and electrically connected to the conveyor system in one step.
    The arrangement shown in FIG. 3 forms a segment 39 of a conveyor system, which, however, is not yet completely equipped with conveyor rollers 4. The illustrated segment 39 is intended to accommodate a total of three conveyor rollers 4

    15:13:50 29-06-2011 24/61 -20-prepares. Of course, in reality much longer segments 39 can be provided with a much higher number of conveyor rollers 4.
    The example shown is therefore intended to illustrate only the underlying principle.
    From Fig. 3 it can further be seen that the frame part 17, a cable for electrical power supply 22 of the conveyor roller 1, a cable for data transmission 23 of data from and to the conveyor roller 1 and connecting cable 24, which connect adjacent connection boxes 20, are laid. The connection box 20 is mainly used to connect the connection socket 21 and consequently the roller-side plug-in device 7 and thus the control unit 6 electrically to the power supply cable 22 and the data cable 23. In the figures, only a power supply cable 22 and a data transmission cable 23 are always shown. Of course, it is also possible that a plurality of power supply cable 22 and / or a plurality of data transmission cable 23 are provided.
    Preferably, the connection box 20 comprises a support surface 38 (see FIG. 7) which is prepared to rest on a frame 17 of the conveyor in the mounted state of the connection box 20, first insulation displacement contacts or first piercing contacts for contacting the connection box 20 with the cable for electrical Power supply 22, second insulation displacement contacts or second piercing contacts for contacting the junction box 20 with a cable for data transmission 23 and an electrically connected to the first and second insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts plant-side plug 21, which for electrical connection to a roller-side plug device 7 a Frame 17,18 the conveyor system arranged conveyor roller 1 is prepared. The first and second Schneidktemmkontak te / piercing contacts are arranged in different areas (see also Figures 5 to 8).
    The connection cables 24 are preferably used for a so-called "daisy-chain line" to address the conveyor rollers 1 during the initialization of the conveyor system. At the beginning there are switches (not shown), which connect the two to 25:51:32 29-06-2011 25 ^ 61
    Connect the connection box 20 connected daisy chain lines 24, opened. Now, a voltage is applied to one end of the daisy chain line 24, causing the conveyor roller 1 closest to the feed point of the voltage to report via the data cable 23 to a central controller (not shown). The other conveyor rollers 1 can not detect this voltage, since the daisy chain line 24 is indeed disconnected by the switches in the individual connection boxes 20. As a result, this conveyor roller 1 is assigned an address, and the conveyor roller 1 closes said switch, so that now also another conveyor roller 1 can receive said voltage signal and in turn reports to the central controller. In this way, the conveyor rollers 1 can be addressed gradually. It would also be conceivable that the connection cable 24 is used for communication between two adjacent connection boxes 20 without the aid of the data cable 23.
    It can also be seen from FIG. 3 that the frame parts 17 and 18 comprise recesses 25 through which additional plug-in devices 26 of the connection box 20 protrude. This additional plug-in devices 26 (preferably designed as RJ11 socket) are used for electrical connection with other elements arranged on the frame 17,18 of the conveyor system, for example with sensors, warning lamps and the like, which are also electrically connected to the power cable 22 and the data cable 23 are.
    4, it can be seen that the cable for the electrical power supply 22 is arranged closer to the frame 17 than the cable for data transmission 23. Furthermore, support bodies 27 are shown in FIG. 4, which on the one hand form a holder for the power supply cables 22, on the other hand, but also for the installation of connection boxes 20 (see in particular Fig. 11) or for the installation of junction boxes are provided which serve the connection of power supply cables 22. For this purpose, an Anschiussbox 20 or a connection box is inserted into the support body 27 or attached to this and preferably screwed with this as needed. The provision of connection boxes has the following background: 25 15.15: 16 29-06-2011 26/61

    In an advantageous method for producing a conveyor system with a frame 17, 18, the following steps are carried out: a) producing several segments 39 of a conveyor system by:
    Mounting a cable for the electrical power supply 22 on the frame 17,
    Mounting a connection box 20, wherein an electrical connection between the cable to the electrical power supply 22 and the system-side plug 21 is made,
    Assembly of a conveyor roller 1 on the frame 17,18, in particular a conveyor roller 1 as shown in FIG. 1, b) positioning the segments 39 at their destination (implies the juxtaposition of the segments 39 and combining to a conveyor system), c) connecting the Cable for electrical power supply 22 of adjacent segments 39 and d) mounting a cable for data transmission 23 to the junction box 20, wherein the cable for data transmission 23 is laid over at least two segments 39 uncut.
    The individual segments 39 are thus prefabricated in the factory and only combined at their destination to a conveyor system. The power supply cables 22 of the individual segments 39 are then electrically connected to each other by means of a connection box (not shown). Preferably, in step c), the cable for the electrical power supply 22 of a first segment 39 with third insulation displacement contacts or third piercing contacts and the cable for the electrical power supply 22 of a second segment 39 adjacent to the first segment 39 with fourth insulation displacement contacts or fourth piercing contacts, which are electrically connected to the third insulation displacement contacts or third piercing contacts, contacted. The contacts mentioned are part of the connection box. Only then is the data cable 23 laid, which, however, is uncut across at least two segments 39, i. is laid in one piece, so that a reliable data connection with high data rate between the conveyor rollers 1 and a central control can be realized.

It is also conceivable that the connection box is part of a connection box 20.
    Preferably in step a) adjacent connection boxes 20 are connected within a segment 39 by means of connecting cables 24, and after exports of step b), adjacent connection boxes 20 of adjacent segments 39 are connected in a step e) via further connection cables 24. The daisy-chain line 24 is thus laid first within the segments 3Θ, then from segment 39 to segment 39. Of course, step e) can also be performed before step c) or d). It would also be conceivable for the daisy-chain line 24 to be laid completely only after step b), c) or d).
    FIGS. 5 and 6 now show a printed circuit board 28, which is arranged in a connecting box 20. As already mentioned, the connection box 20 in an advantageous embodiment comprises first insulation displacement contacts or first piercing contacts 29 for contacting the connection box 20 with the energy supply cable 22 and second insulation displacement contacts or second piercing contacts 30 for contacting the connection box 20 with the data cable 23, which are now clearly visible in Figures 5 and 6. It can easily be seen that the first and second cutting contact / piercing contacts 29, 30 are arranged in different areas, specifically in different planes. It would also be conceivable that they are arranged side by side in the same plane. Furthermore, in FIGS. 5 and 6, two further additional plug contacts 31 can be seen, which are prepared to receive one connecting cable 24 each to an adjacent connecting box 20. The printed circuit board 28 is used primarily to the insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts 29, 30 and the additional plug contacts 31 to electrically connect to the connection socket 21 and the additional plug-in devices 26. In addition, it is pointed out that the cables 22 and 23 are preferably contacted in a gas-tight manner.
    FIGS. 7 and 8 now show the finished connection box 20, that is to say the arrangement shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, with a housing 32, fastening screws.

    In a preferred embodiment, the system-side plug-in device, so the connection socket 21, floatingly mounted and in particular in the axis of the conveyor roller 1 to be displaced. Alternatively or additionally, it is also vorsteilbar that the connector socket 21 is mounted transversely to said axis slidably, both contributes to manufacturing tolerances of the conveyor are compensated and not in the assembly of the conveyor roller 1, in particular when inserting the same in the connection box 20 make disturbing noticeable.
    For example, the connection socket 21 can for this purpose have a frame with a circumferential groove into which the housing 32 of the attachment box 20 engages in the area of a cutout provided for the connection socket 21. By providing a clearance, the movement of said frame in the cutout can be achieved without this can fall out of the neckline. In order to enable the movement of the connection socket 21, this can also be wired within the connection box 20 with Hitfe a flexible cable. It is particularly advantageous if the connection socket 21 can be pulled out of the frame when required if the floating mounting alone is not sufficient to compensate for the production tolerances of the conveyor system.
    FIGS. 9 to 11 now show a section through the conveyor system at the level of the axis of the conveyor roller 1. In addition to the components already described, magnets 37, which together with the stator 5 form an electric motor, as well as a support body 27 are shown in FIG to see this is particularly clear of Fig. 11 can be seen). The support body 27 serves as already mentioned on the one hand to hold the power supply cable 22 in position, on the other hand also for screwing the mounting screws 33. From Fig. 10 is also removed that the first insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts 29 of the support surface 38 and thus be closer to the frame part 17 than the second ones 15:17:22 29-06-2011 29/61 25 * · -25-
    Insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts 30. It can also be clearly seen that plug-in contacts of the system-side plug-in device, i. the connection socket 21, are spaced from the frame 17 to avoid short circuits when plugging or unplugging the plug-in device 7. Furthermore, it can also be seen that the contacts of the plug-in device 7 are arranged in this example for the same reason on the side facing away from the frame 17 of the circuit board 8. In an alternative advantageous embodiment, moreover, contacts may be provided on both sides of the printed circuit board 8 in order to accommodate wider contacts or a larger number of contacts with the same width of the plug-in device 7. In an advantageous variant, the connection box as mentioned may be part of the connection box 20. For this purpose, 28 further insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts are provided on the circuit board 28, in Fig. 5 left of the illustrated Schneidktemmkontakte / piercing contacts 29. These additional insulation displacement contacts / piercing contacts with the insulation displacement contacts shown in FIG. Piercing contacts 29 connected by the printed circuit board 28. In this way, two power supply cables 22, which lead from left and right into the modified connection box 20, can be connected to each other.
    In the preceding embodiments, it was always assumed that the first plug-in direction A, in which the bearing bodies 2, 3 are inserted into a frame 17, 18 of the conveyor system, and the second plug-in direction B, in which the roller-side plug-in device 7 is plugged into a plant-side plug-in device 21 is inserted, parallel to each other and rectified. But this is not a necessary condition for the invention. It would also be conceivable that the second plug-in direction B is aligned tangentially to a pivot point of the bearing body 2, 3. FIG. 12, which shows the assembly process of a conveyor roller 1 at three different times, is intended to illustrate what is meant by that.
    First, the conveyor roller 1 is placed above the frame 17,18 of the conveyor, specifically above the recess 19 in position. The plug-in device 7 25 • »» «· · · · ·« ♦ · · «« «···» »ft * i * * ··» · ··· · · · · · · · · · »15:18: 04 29-06-2011 30/61 -26-is turned 90 ° upwards to the horizontal (upper picture). Then the conveyor roller is inserted in a first plug-in direction A in the recess 19 and then rotated - counterclockwise (middle image). Overall, the conveyor roller 1 and the bearing body 2,3 are rotated by 90 ° counterclockwise. On the one hand, this causes the conveying roller to be locked in the recess 19 by turning the elongate bearing bodies 2, 3. On the other hand, during the rotary movement, but also the plug-in device 7 in the second plug-in direction B, which is aligned tangentially to a pivot point of the bearing body 2.3, inserted into the connection box 20. Due to the combined plug-in and rotary movement, the conveyor roller 1 is thus both mechanically fastened in the frame 17, as well as electrically contacted. Instead of a counterclockwise rotation, of course, in an alternative embodiment, a clockwise rotation may also be provided.
    Of course, Fig. 12 is intended to illustrate only symbolically how a conveyor roller 1 can be mounted by a combined plug-in and rotary movement. In addition to the concrete executed mechanical locking course, a variety of other possibilities of the invention is included. For example, a pin on the bearing body 2, 3 are guided along a ring segment-shaped cutout on the frame 17,18 and secure the Förderrolte 1 such against falling out. It would also be conceivable, for example, for a plate to be pushed, plugged or screwed over the recess 19 so that the conveyor roller 1 is securely fixed in the frame 17, 18. It should be noted at this point that the pivot points of the bearing bodies 2, 3 are not necessarily located on the axis of the tubular body 4, but may also be spaced therefrom.
    13 now shows a cable assembly 40, comprising a first electrical conductor 41 and two second electrical conductors 42, which are insulated from each other, and a plurality of arranged in the course of the conductors 41,42 plugs 43. The plugs 43 are in this example as sockets with each carried out a plurality of electrical contacts 44..47, wherein in each case at least one contact 44..47 is connected to an electrical conductor 41,42. Of course, the plug devices 43 could also be designed as a plug. -27-
    2S -27- 2S 31/61 15:18:48 29-06-2011
    Specifically, the contacts 44 and 45 are connected to the first electrical conductor 41, the contacts 46 and 47 each having a second electrical conductor 42. In this case, the first conductor 41 is severed at each plug-in device 43, and one end of each of the first conductor 41 is connected to one electrical contact 44, 45 (Note the lateral offset of the first conductor 41 on each plug-in device 43).
    FIGS. 14 and 15 furthermore show a conveyor system, specifically two sections 39 thereof, with a frame 17, 18 and a plurality of motor-driven conveyor rollers 1 and a cable arrangement 40 fastened to the frame 17 and electrically connected to the conveyor rollers 1 (FIG obliquely from above, Fig. 15 obliquely from below).
    On the frame 17, a power supply cable 22 is arranged, which is electrically connected to the conveyor rollers 1. Preferably, the cable assembly 40 as shown here outside of the frame 17 and the power cable 22 inside the frame 17 is arranged. Furthermore, 17 connection boxes 20 are arranged on the frame, which are provided for the electrical connection of the conveyor roller 1 with the cable assembly 40 and the power cable 22. The electrical connection of the cable assembly 40 with the conveyor rollers 1 is preferably carried out through a recess 25 in the frame 17, the cable assembly 40 are connected via the connectors 43 directly to the connection boxes 20 and these in turn via a connecting cable to the conveyor rollers 1.
    Finally, the conveyor system comprises two Verbindungsungskabe] 53 (in Fig. 15 simplified shown without connector), which connect the segments of the power supply cable 22 across the construction periods away. In this example, one of the two connection cables 53 is for a 24 volt supply, the other connection cable 53 is for a 48 volt offset. Of course, it is also possible to connect the power supply cable 22 with a single connection cable 53. -28- 25 15:19:29 29-06-2011 32/61
    In the concrete example, a two second conductor 42 are provided as a data cable, which is designed as a twisted pair cable. This contributes to a largely interference-free data transmission from and to the conveyor rollers 1, of course, the data cable 42 but could for example be designed as a ribbon cable, in particular as a shielded ribbon cable.
    Furthermore, the first conductor 41 of the cable arrangement 40 is used as a daisy-chain line or connecting line 24 in the context of an initialization process of the conveyor system. The individual segments of the first conductor 41, which each connect two conveyor rollers 1, can be connected via a switch (not shown), which is arranged either in the conveyor roller 1 itself or in the connection box 20. The initialization process runs analogously to the manner already described above.
    Also, the already described advantageous method for producing a conveyor system for the variant of the conveyor system shown in Figures 14 and 15 is applicable. In a first step a), in turn, several segments 39 of the conveyor system are prepared, in each case a cable 22 for the electrical power supply of the conveyor roller 1 mounted on the frame 17 and the Förderrol-len 1 attached to the frame 17 and electrically connected to the power supply cable 22. In a second step b), the segments 39 are positioned at their destination, and in a third step c), the power supply cables 22 of adjacent segments 39 are connected to each other. In Fig. 15 it can be clearly seen that the connection boxes have 20 sockets, via which the junction boxes 20 and thus the individual sections of the Energieversorgungskabeis 22 are connected to a specially designed cable 53. In a fourth step d), a cable assembly 40 is finally mounted on the frame 17 and electrically contacted with the conveyor rollers 1, the cable assembly 40 is laid over at least two segments 39 uncut.
    The data cable 42, here realized by the twisted pair line, is thus uncut, at least over two segments, i. in one piece, relocated, so that 15:20:12 29-06-2011 33/61
    2S 9 «i i * * * * * * * ft ·« * * * * · < It is possible to realize a reliable, high-speed data connection between the conveyor rollers 1 and a central controller. Furthermore, the cable arrangement 40 also includes a daisy chain line, which is why the connection lines 24 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and 9 to 11 can be dispensed with. The cabling of a conveyor system can thus take place particularly efficiently with the aid of the cable arrangement 40. The fact that the cable assembly 40 can be prefabricated, the risk of contact failure is also very low.
    In the above example, the power supply line 22 is designed as a separate cable. This is advantageous since the power supply line 22 can be arranged on the inside of the frame 17 as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, whereas the cable arrangement 40 is arranged on the outside of the frame 17. By arranged between the power supply cable 22 and the data bus 42 frame 17 electromagnetic fields that arise around the power cable 22, well shielded from the data bus 42. Equivalently, the power supply cable 22 can of course also be arranged on the outside of the frame 17 and the cable arrangement 40 can be fastened on the inside of the frame 17.
    Moreover, it is still conceivable that the conveyor system does not include any separate power cable 22, but at least a second conductor 42 of the cable assembly 40 is provided as a power supply line. The wiring of a conveyor system is then limited essentially to the insertion of the plug devices 43 into the connection boxes 20 or into the conveyor roller 1.
    Similar to FIG. 10, FIG. 16 shows a section through a conveyor system at the level of the axis of the conveyor roller 1, albeit in a slightly modified variant. Specifically, a section through the conveyor system shown in Figures 14 and 15 is shown. The most significant differences from the variant of FIG. 10 are that the roller axis 16 does not extend over the entire length of the conveyor roller 1, but only substantially over the length of the drive unit 5. Therefore, the conveyor roller 1 also includes a third bearing shell 48 with a third bearing 49. Another difference is that the electrical connection 25
    15:20:54 29-06-2011 34/61 -30-drive unit 5, i. specifically of the stator windings, to the circuit board 8 via a contact sleeve 50 with incorporated electrical conductors and a motor circuit board 51 takes place, to which the stator windings are soldered.
    Another significant difference is that the data cable 23 and the connection cable 24 is laid differently than in the variant shown in Fig. 10. This is in fact designed as a cable assembly 40 and laid as shown in Figures 13 to 15.
    Furthermore, the conveyor roller 1 with the junction box 20 is not directly as in Figures 3 and 4 and 9 to 11, but indirectly connected via the separate connection cable 52.
    Furthermore, a power supply connection cable 53 connecting the individual segments of the power supply cable 22 is shown in FIG. 16. Finally, FIG. 16 shows an additional cable 54 which is plugged into the additional plug-in device 26 and leads, for example, to an additional sensor / actuator of the conveyor system (not shown).
    Finally, FIG. 17 shows an embodiment variant of the conveyor system, which is very similar to the variant shown in FIG. 16. In contrast, in this example, however, a connection cable 52 is provided, which is soldered to the circuit board 28, which is why the plug-in device 21 is attached directly to the plug-in device 7. Both variants illustrated in FIGS. 16 and 17 make it possible to compensate for comparatively larger tolerances of a conveyor system, so that the electrical contacting between conveyor roller 1 and connection box 20 can always be done safely.
    In a particularly advantageous variant, the plug-in device 21 can be arranged as shown in FIG. 10, in particular floatingly mounted (ie displaceable in the direction of the axis of the conveyor roller 1 and / or transversely thereto) and also as shown in FIG. 17 on a connection cable 52 be attached. The conveyor roller 1 can then be inserted by default as provided in Fig. 10. Does not work, for example, because of excessive manufacturing tolerances 25 15:21:35 29-06-2011 35/61
    -31 -the conveyor system or because the connection box 20 has been erroneously installed in a wrong place, the plug-in device 21 can be pulled out of the connection box 20 on the connection cable 52, if necessary, in order to connect the connection box 20 to the conveyor roller 1.
    The exemplary embodiments show possible embodiments of an inventive conveyor roller 1 of a connection box 20 according to the invention or a conveyor system according to the invention and a cable arrangement 40 according to the invention, it being noted at this point that the invention is not limited to the specifically illustrated embodiments of the same, but rather also various combinations the individual embodiments are mutually possible and this Varlationsmöglichkeit due to the doctrine of technical action by representational invention in the skill of those working in this technical field is the expert. So are all conceivable embodiments, which are possible by combinations of individual details of the illustrated and described embodiment variant, includes the scope of protection.
    It should also be understood that a real conveyor may include more components and other components than illustrated. In addition, it should be noted that for a better understanding of the structure of the conveyor roller 1, the connection box 20 according to the invention or the conveyor system according to the invention and the cable assembly 40 according to the invention, these or their components were shown partially uneven and / or enlarged and / or reduced.
    Finally, it should be noted that the conveyor rollers 1 may also be part of a belt conveyor (in particular a Staugurtförderers). In this case, a belt is stretched over at least two conveyor rollers 1, which then procures the transport of the conveyor objects. It would also be conceivable, moreover, that the conveying rollers 1 are part of a flat belt conveyor. In this case, a plurality of flat belts are stretched over at least two conveyor rollers 1, which may have corresponding grooves for better guidance of the Ftachriemen.
